I keep saying I’m going fishing. I’ve invested money in the gear and time in research on proper technique. But I usually have trouble finding time during daylight to go and put all the gear into use and apply the research. You see, I work Monday to Friday from 0800 to 1700. This time of the year the sun is just coming up when I leave (OK, so it’s been up for a while - I haven’t at that time) and it’s dark when I leave work.
Well, I finally got my butt out of the apartment today and went fishing :thumb: ! Not that I actually caught anything, mind you, but I attempted it with several different methods
Mostly I just kicked back in my chair, let the bait soak, chatted with the locals, watched the planes on final approach to McCarran and watched the R/C boats

What’s that? You didn’t know you could go fishing next to McCarran’s final approach? Well, here’s the deal. Sunset Park is located on the corner of Sunset and Eastern - just across the intersection diagonally form McCarran. Fishing is just one of the activities at this park, but it’s kinda different and cool if you ask me
The location I chose today was N 36.06477 W 115.11388 according to my GPS receiver - check out the map below:
Of course, this is nearly ideal for an aviation nut like myself
There’s only one other lake/pond that I’d really like to be able to fish, but it’s on a military installation about 90 miles northwest of here and I don’t think they’ll let me just go up there and on base to fish
Yes, I did take some pictures and I just know that y’all want to see what was going on there today
I’ll try to remember my tripod next time so I can be in the picture




So yeah, it was a good, relaxing day at the pond ![]()
